"F.B.I. officials said the profile that has emerged of Thomas Crooks, based on an analysis of his electronics, resembles that of a mass shooter more than a politically motivated assassin."
The full article in NYT won't tell you much more:
Above note the well-known pattern of the mass shooter: "intelligent but socially isolated (young) (male)" -- the kind who are literally encouraged and taught to shoot and kill strangers at random with an assault rifle -- because THAT is the point of the video game itself.
The assassin's own AR rifle below, courtesy F.B.I.:
The manufacturer of his rifle:
His rear sight was a red dot type, suited only to close-in shooting of a large group of persons and unsuited for a long-range sniper:
Red dot, conceived for use to hunt humans; this is Gaza today in The Australian newspaper:
The officer who killed him at a distance, used a 'scope for precision [one shot kill] it gave him
An FOH (friend of holstory) sent this that is from the F.B.I.:
We can see from this image of the attempt on Mr. Trump, that a mass shooting could easily have been accomplished by the shooter had he been on the ground.
The event does fit the pattern of a mass shooting: "a gathering of people assembled for their own reasons who are unknown to the shooter and are unarmed". IMHO these mass shootings -- I think of the NZ shooting at a mosque -- are unrelated to the REASON for the gathering and took place because (1) they were gathered, (2) they were not known to the shooter personally and (3) they were unarmed and couldn't shoot back. And these shooters got the idea from first person shooter games. Somebody should clue in the F.B.I.
Kinda makes you proud to be an American, dunnit? I love my birth country but I'm not happy with what you all have been doing over there since 2000. Like Call of Duty:
That's OK, some dumb asses have been able to get the Supreme Court to take up the right to keep and bear military arms (e.g., the AR15). They could win it! Because the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court found earlier this century, is in support of the military arms of the day. The Founders just didn't plan for the internet putting video gaming together with military arms and fantasists alone in their bedrooms hiding from their moms.
